From rest homes to uptown Belleville, our Junior High students filled the day with Christmas carols, Christmas card creations for residents, laughter, and a whole lot of holiday spirit! 🎄🎶
Thank you to our community for welcoming our students and to our staff for making this special experience possible. Thank you to Jenny Kling, Tranda and Jed Strnad, Jillian Livingston and all those who helped supervise.
Moments like these are what the season is all about. Go Buffs! 🦬





We want to extend a huge thank you to our local businesses, community leaders, and professionals who took time out of their day to invest in our high school students. Your willingness to share real-world experiences made a meaningful impact. Belleville Police Dept., Astra Bank, the Extension Office, Dr. Zenger and Ed Larson with the RepCo Hospital, the City of Belleville (Electricians), Main Street Mollys, and Jeremey Snapp deserve a big thank you! Mayor James Doyle and the Christian Church were a huge help as well for a location while we hosted the Holiday Duals in our building.
Our students had the opportunity to explore career pathways, learn life skills like basic financial literacy and vehicle care, and ask questions they don’t always get to ask in a classroom setting. These conversations help bridge the gap between school and the real world—and that matters.
The virtual reality career exploration experience was a huge hit, giving students a hands-on look at careers they may not have previously considered. We’re excited about the possibility of bringing that back again next semester!
Thank you for supporting RepCo students, strengthening community connections, and helping prepare our kids for what comes next. We truly appreciate you all. 🦬💙
